Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 45: Classes

Shi Tian was utterly speechless when he witnessed Isaac Aaronax storming out of the control room after giving out a brief instruction. It was as if Isaac Aaronax was always living in his own world, and doing whatever he wanted on a whim.

“No wonder he was quite close to Yolanda…” Shi Tian murmured, turning around to make his way toward the B-3 room as instructed.

Thankfully, each room within the training facility was labeled in large holographic text, so unless one was extremely blind, there was just no possible way of going to the wrong room.

A few minutes later, Shi Tian entered the B-3 room and was greeted by a large chunk of text on the shelves. It was as if the room was a mini-library room itself, with multiple pieces of information archived on the shelves.

‘Did Master Isaac plan this and tell me to educate myself?’ That was the first thought on Shi Tian’s mind, given that he was ignorant of a lot of supposedly common sense knowledge.

Although Isaac Aaronax had never specifically called him out on such matters, it was crystal clear for Shi Tian to realize that he had been suspicious from the start.

This was also part of the main reason why Shi Tian didn’t wish to interact with people much. After all, the more he interacted with them, the more mistakes he would make, even if he attempted his best to cover them up.

He wasn’t a person with eidetic memory, so it had become difficult for him to react or talk like normal people that were living in this current era. The knowledge, speech, and common sense of this current era were a far cry from the year 2139.

Perhaps if Shi Tian had a bit more time and information at hand would he finally be able to immerse himself fully into this current era of people’s mindset.

“No harm in reading this free information I guess…” Shi Tian murmured, his eyes gazing at the numerous large chunks of holographic text.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling, Shi Tian was determined to read the most information possible. He was pretty sure Isaac Aaronax had intended for this as well, so it would be pretty foolish to not utilize this great opportunity to educate himself.

Sometime later, Shi Tian began going through the chunk of texts, mainly searching for the supposedly specialized mechanic class and whatnot. It was a futile attempt to search for the old history since he had already tried that with the Cellos device.

Information of the past history, namely, the events of Great Disaster 1.0 seemed to have been erased from the surface of the Earth. There were only a few pieces of information that are negligent to the main crux.

Squinting his brows slightly, Shi Tian saw a file that intrigued him slightly. It was labeled as miracles of the aftermath, a somewhat ambiguous yet coherent title to the current circumstances.

‘Miracles?’ Shi Tian hesitantly waved his hand over to hover the file closer to him.

As the file flew closer to him, Shi Tian was astonished by the first text documented. It mentioned the supposedly fissure-like cracked sky and how it had affected the Earth’s environment itself.

However, that wasn’t even the most astonishing thing he had just read. In fact, it was a particular text that mentioned the appearance of Magicule, a type of invisible substance that had begun to scatter around Earth. .

Within these substances, humans that are born gifted are capable of manipulating such Magicules in different types of ways, creating what is similar to a game class-like ability.

Intrigued completely, Shi Tian quickly found a corner seat to sit down as he browsed through this new information.

According to the file, there were apparently five classified classes known, namely, the Berserker, Esper, Clairvoyant, Magus, and finally- the less desired Mechanic class.

Apparently, the mechanic class was the least desired class among the others given its complexity and difficulty to master. In addition, it was an arduous task to learn the craft to even be qualified as an apprentice mechanic compared to the other classes.

Berserkers are like fighters or brutes to be precise, able to utilize the Magicule in the environment to strengthen their bodies and physical prowess beyond the norms of a human.

As for Esper, they are people born with a special type of power that have been affected by the change of environment in the Earth’s substance itself. They are capable of accomplishing some specific type of ability such as being invisible or controlling space itself.

Magus is somewhat similar to Esper, except they didn’t have a special type of power that an Esper could have. Instead, Magus was more similar to a mage that could manipulate the Magicule around to use the basic four elements- fire, water, earth, and air.

Finally, it was the most unclarified class, the Clairvoyant class. Not much information regarding the Clairvoyant class was listed in the file except that they might be able to perceive the future or control fate itself.

Reading more, Shi Tian’s head nearly exploded since it was all miscellaneous information afterward without much substance that distinguished the interior of the classes.

“Okay, I just wasted my time and some more brain cells for nonsensical descriptions…” Shi Tian twitched his brows.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say the information he had just read was long-winded. Despite that, it did provide him some great information such as the effect the fissure-like crack sky had upon Earth and how humans managed to resist the invasion of these metallic and mutated monsters.

As Shi Tian placed the file back to its original place, unknown to him, there was a secret webcam overseeing the room itself.

“Even if one is a foreigner… it’s impossible to not know such basic information that has now been spread far and wide across the world. It appears this little brat is hiding a deeper secret than what is shown on the surface.” Isaac Aaronax mumbled softly, his eyes staring right at Shi Tian’s figure.
